a friend of mine has rescued an old cedar kayak frame from the hands of a teacher coleague who was entertaining the notion of giving it a viking burial. its nine feet long , has a couple of damaged strips, and was originally covered with canvas,tacked to the frame. .I think I understand the strip repairs, but the skin is a deep subject. I have a little experience with fiberglass tape , from a Bolger skiff I made a few years ago. How would you go about putting a skin on the frame ? what cloth would you reccomend? suppliers? any advice appreciated.
